Re: Program Agreement with Girl Scouts of MN and WI River Valleys for
Summer Recreation Programs
Background:
Since 2007, the City has partnered with the Girl Scouts of the Minnesota and Wisconsin River
Valleys to offer summer recreation programs at Camp Lakamaga on Big Marine Lake. Last month,
Staff met with Pam Wurster of Camp Lakamaga to discuss summer 2018 recreation programs
offered through Camp Lakamaga.
Issue:
Is the attached Program Agreement between the City of Scandia and the Girl Scouts of Minnesota
and Wisconsin River Valleys for summer recreation programs acceptable?
Proposal Details:
Camp Lakamaga will continue to offer a full-day “Camp Adventurers, Woods and Water” camp at an
increased rate of $200. (The rate last year was $190.) Camp Lakamaga will also continue to offer a
half-day “Camp Explorers, 1st Stop-Camp!” program at an increased rate of $110. (The rate last year
was $100.) The camps are scheduled for the weeks of July 23 and August 6 at Camp Lakamaga.
A copy of the Program Agreement is included with your meeting materials. This is the same
agreement format that was used last year with updated dates. It has been signed by the Girl Scouts’
Senior Program Advisor.
Fiscal Impact:
Program revenues will be shared between the City (20%) and River Valleys (80%) for all programs
covered by the agreement. There will be no obligation to either party if programs need to be
cancelled due to lack of registrations. Last year, the programs generated $5,350, $1,070 of which
the City retained.
Options:
1) Approve the Program Agreement with Girl Scouts of MN and WI River Valleys.
2) Amend and then approve the Program Agreement with Girl Scouts of MN and WI River
Valleys.
3) Take no action at this time.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
